Q

why should we study motor control?

A

understanding normal movement

important to assess and treat

helpful in developing treatment strategies

help guide clinical practice

17
Q

a stable task is done over a ____ BOS

A

non-moving

18
Q

a mobile task is done over a ___ BOS

A

moving

19
Q

what is a manipulation task?

A

UE involvement

20
Q

what is a nonmanipulation task?

A

not using the UE

21
Q

which combo of task attributes is most challenging?

A

continuous open movement

22
Q

what is a closed stable task?

A

sitting or standing on non-moveable surface

sit to stands

23
Q

what is a closed mobility task?

A

walking on a moving surface?

24
Q

what is an open stable task?

A

sitting or standing on a foam or rocking board

25
Q

what is an open mobility task?

A

walking on an uneven or moving surface

26
Q

what are regulatory constraints on movement control?

A

something that shapes the task and affects the movement the pt is doing

size, shape, temp

27
Q

what are non-regulatory constraints on movement control?

A

impacts the movement but doesn’t change it

sound

28
Q

what is the reflex theory?

A

combined action of reflexes are linked together

the reflex system drives movement

29
Q

what is the hierarchical theory?

A

brain has top down control?

30
Q

what is the motor programming theory?

A

certain patterns we have that are hardwired and stereotyped and stored at high levels of CNS and messaging is sent to both sides of body so there will be similar characteristics in R and L hands

writing w/dominant and non-dominent hand will have similar characteristics even though we don’t practice using our nondominent hand

31
Q

what is the systems theory?

A

new approach to considering the external and internal forces

synergies

32
Q

what is a deep well in the shallow/deep well systems theory?

A

a very stable movement pattern that is hard to change

33
Q

what is a shallow well in the shallow/deep well systems theory?

A

more variability in movement

34
Q

what is the ecological theory?

A

the first theory where the environment was considered in relation to movement

35
Q

what is the task orient approach?

A

having a goal and a task is really what drives the movement pattern make treatment sessions as fxnal as possible

36
Q

what was the first theory to highlight perception/action system actively exploring environment to satisfy goal?

A

reflex theory

37
Q

what theory highlights actions, not just reactions and includes
central motor patterns?

A

motor programming theories

38
Q

what was the first theory to highlight perception/action system actively exploring environment to satisfy goal?

A

systems theory

39
Q

what theory includes external and internal factors, body as a mechanical system with multiple degrees of freedom, synergies?

A

distributed model of motor control

40
Q

what is the theory that is an expanded Systems Theory, including optimal variability?

A

dynamic systems theory

41
Q

what theory was the first theory to highlight perception/action system actively exploring environment to satisfy goal?

A

ecological theory
